Icon of the Assumption of the Most Holy Theotokos – Orthodox Christian Icon
This blessed Orthodox icon, “The Assumption of the Most Holy Theotokos,” is inspired by a 19th-century original and depicts one of the most profound and solemn events in Christian tradition — the glorification of the Mother of God in Heaven, celebrated by the Orthodox Church on the Feast of the Dormition.
The icon shows the Most Holy Theotokos standing upon the clouds, surrounded by radiant angels who lift her body and soul into the Heavenly Kingdom. Her Divine Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, lovingly extends His hands toward His Pure Mother, receiving her into eternal glory.
This sacred image is filled with deep spiritual comfort and hope. It bears witness to the Orthodox belief that the Mother of God, who lived her earthly life in perfect purity and obedience to God’s will, was taken into Heaven both in body and soul, becoming the first among humankind to receive this grace after the Resurrection of Christ.
For Orthodox Christians, this icon is a powerful reminder of:
-
Victory over death through faith in Christ
-
The intercession of the Theotokos, who continues to pray for us before the Throne of God
-
Hope in the Resurrection and eternal life for all believers
-
The maternal love and heavenly protection of the Mother of God
The Icon of the Assumption of the Most Holy Theotokos is a blessed addition to a home icon corner, prayer space, or a meaningful spiritual gift for loved ones. It brings comfort in times of sorrow, strengthens faith, and fills the heart with hope in God’s mercy and the loving intercession of the Queen of Heaven.
